Depending on what your js function does, you may also be able to use the
notifyTopics/listenTopics event mechanisms.
Look at the example in "Preventing a Request" at
http://struts.apache.org/2.x/docs/ajax-tags.html#AjaxTags-preventingRequest
Otherwise try the handler="" attribute to call your own js function
before making the request yourself (I haven't tried this though and
can't point to any examples)

OK I found my problem. I shouldn't add onClick event to the anchor,
but what do I do to execute a js function when this anchor is clicked.
I tried using onMouseDown, but the same results.

Thank you. That helped but still can not submit a form using an
anchor out side that form. The fields are not populated in the action.
The code on the Site :
Using the anchor tag to submit a form:
<s:form id="form1">
<input type="textbox" name="data"> </s:form>
<s:url id="ajaxTest" value="/AjaxTest.action" />
<s:a theme="ajax" href="%{ajaxTest}" formId="form1">Submit form</s:a>
My code:
<s:head theme="ajax"></s:head>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<s:a href="javascript://"
onclick="changeState(true);">edit</s:a>
<td>
<s:url id="ajaxSubmit"
value="/updateAccount.action"></s:url>
<s:a theme="ajax" href="%{ajaxSubmit}" formId="MyData"
onclick="changeState(false);"> save </s:a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table id="data_table">
<s:form id="MyData">
<tr>
<td><s:label value="AccId:" /></td>
<td><s:property value="acc.id" /> <s:hidden name="acc.id"
value="%{acc.id}" id="acc.id" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><s:label value="First Name" /></td>
<td><s:textfield name="acc.firstName" disabled="true"
value="${acc.firstName}" /></td>
</tr>
</s:form>
</table>
That's not a big deal as I can move the anchors inside the form, but
may be I am missing something here.

Ensure you've included <s:head theme="ajax"> to include the required
javascript and try turning on ajax debugging (<s:head theme="ajax"
debug="true">). Ensure the javascript exists in your html.
